Lighting at home decoration, everything you need to know

Hi guys, is everything all right there? Serving requests, today I have prepared an ultimate guide about lighting at home decoration, here you are going to find out everything you need to know about this theme so important for a project. It is impressive how the light changes the climate of ambient, values objects, and of course, supports us to execute many functions in our day by day.

The light is responsible for the ambient comfort and, for this, the lighting tone needs to be taken into consideration, the choice will get to depend on the effects that you seek and ambient finality. Easy, I am going to explain everything.

Tonality of the ligth

Cool light, with bluish and white tones. It is a work illumination, suitable to office, and for who does handcrafts and for ambient like bathroom, kitchen and services area and a small corner to the makeup.

Warm light, it is more yellowish, affords intimacy and cozy ambient. It gives us this sensation of that delightful home.

Kinds of lamps

Very well, now that you already know how to choose the tone of each environment, the moment to buy the lamps has come, but there are so many options, is not it? So, let’s reveal this “mystery” and facilitate your life.

Incandescent light bulbs: are those ancient lamps that we all already used in the past, they are cozy, but heat up and waste a lot of energy. Nowadays there are more modern and efficient options.

Fluorescent lamps: do not emit heat, expend little energy, but have mercury and lead, which are hazardous to our health and to the environment, for this reason, they can not be discarded in common waste.

Halogen lamps: also known as dichroic, are great to highlight objects.

Led lamps: are the most beloved at the moment. They can reproduce the same effect all other lamps, are very economics, last more than 25 thousand hours, they have many formats (until the most hipsters, as, for example, those with apparent filament), this without talking about the led’ ribbons that you can embed into the closets, or where your imagination permits. And do you know what is so cool? There is no toxic substance in its composition.

What do watts volt and lumens mean?

This is another very common question, so let’s go there:

Watts: is the quantity of energy that the electric device consumes during functioning.

Volt: is the measure of electric tension, here in the USA it is from 115V to 127V; in Brazil, it is from 110V to 220V.

Lumen: is the light intensity, much more lumens a lamp has, the more its luminosity will be, and stronger will be the illumination.

Kinds of light fixtures

The choice of the kind of light fixture is linked to the objective and style you want to give to the ambient, here I will teach you how to choose the model for each situation.

Pendant lamp: I always say that the pendant lamp is the “earring “of the room. It gives “that tchan” and dictates the style. If you look for sophistication, for example, choose a beautiful crystal chandelier, or want contemporaneous something you can opt for a set of lamps with apparent filament. It is great for the dining room, brings elegance and cozy.

Plafond:  it is very versatile, provides direct or indirect illumination, generally, they are discrete pieces that can be utilized in all rooms that need to be very illuminated. In case you have a flashy chandelier in your dining room, and it is integrated with the living room, for this room, the plafond will work very well.

Lamp: it can not lack in the living room and bedroom. It is a delightful light that gives us a cozy feeling and helps in the construction of a welcoming ambient.

Floor Lamp:  it will give you an intimacy lighting a little higher and can replace the lamp.

Sconce: they are wall lamps that generate a diffuse and cozy light. Suitable for environments that do not need a large source of direct light, such as lavatory, corridors, or even for replacing a lamp beside the bed. Some sconces provide a beautiful light projection effect.

Spots: lamps with directed light, perfect to value a picture or some other object. It can be embedded or not. I think very interest those models on rails, that we can slide and position in several ways, very practical and versatile.
